On this day, Mayor Lee visited the Jukjeon Station bus stop with city officials and ordered actions such as drawing new waiting lines between the road and the passenger waiting area to ensure that passengers can safely wait for and board buses.

This section has raised safety concerns, as the bus boarding waiting area is close to the roadway, and citizens waiting for buses have occasionally come into contact with the side mirrors of passing buses, resulting in potential safety accidents.

Mayor Lee also inspected the area around the bus stop to check the feasibility of installing a shelter structure. During winter, strong cold winds at the Jukjeon Station bus stop have often caused waiting citizens to shiver from the cold.

Mayor Lee also met and encouraged Mr. Lee Si-young, the driver of Town Bus No. 24, who saved the life of a Chinese international student who collapsed on a bus last year.

On April 10 last year, when a Dankook University international student collapsed on the bus due to hypovolemic shock, Mr. Lee stopped the bus at the nearest hospital, carried the student on his back, and rushed the student into the hospital, saving the student's life.

Mayor Lee stated, "Since there are many citizens waiting for buses at Jukjeon Station during commuting hours, I have instructed the review of improvement measures such as drawing waiting lines to prevent any possible accidents," adding, "We will continue to pay attention and regularly inspect, improve, and supplement measures so that citizens can commute or travel to and from school safely."
